Obeisance to the youthful crown prince of Vraja. May that prince mercifully grant what I desire. The radiance of his limbs generously crushes the pride of a raincloud; the brilliance of his garment eclipses lotus pollen; he is the moon of childhood made faint by the sunlike glance of youth.

May the youthful crown prince of Vraja mercifully grant what I desire. At every moment he churns his father's immeasurable life-breath; his embodied form seems truly made from the whole mass of his mother's affection; he is the nectar-fed lampwick for the eyes of the affectionate elders and cowherd community.
